The Pastels

The Pastels are a constantly evolving Glasgow-based music group, which originated in ramshackle style in the 1980s. Their almost accidental sound became extremely influential both on a local level and internationally. At the end of the 1980s, when it seemed like maybe the group had faded out, they were re-configuring and learning from scratch, which eventually resulted in their acclaimed albums 'Mobile Safari' and 'Illumination' albums (Domino, 1995, 1997). Now, after another hiatus, The Pastels have made another musical leap with 'The Last Great Wilderness' soundtrack. 'Outro' is one of the sketches for that album, expertly re-processed and re-configured by Kevin Shields. Founder of bands Teenage Fanclub, BMX Bandits and Belle and Sebastien.
